“So I guess you know her, Mom?” Sko asked.
Lilla pulled back a bit, her eyes damp. She kept one arm around me as if afraid I might bolt. “Of course I know her, Sko. This is Nancy Martin.”
The boy’s eyes went wide. “The Nancy Martin? The one from your stories?”
“Yes, son, she’s the Nancy in my stories.” Releasing me, Lilla bent over her two sons. “I need you to run out to the fields and deliver a message to your father.”
“What do you want me to tell him?”
Lilla rose and smiled at me. “Tell him Nancy Martin has finally come home.”
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Growing up, Henry worked at the usual range of menial jobs -- from grocery store bag boy to pizza delivery to retail sales -- before ending up in software development. In between the menial jobs and the IT jobs, he achieved some small fame as the writer and co-creator of the small press comic book titles Southern Knights and X-Thieves. For the past ten years, Henry has also taken up the mantle of professional storyteller, performs regularly throughout the state of North Carolina, and has recently released his first book of children's stories.
Henry has been a fan of science fiction for as long as he can remember. He has loved space opera and planetary romance since the beginning, which is why his science fiction novels end up in those subgenres.
Henry currently live in Raleigh, NC, with his wife, son, two cats, and lots of imaginary friends all clamoring to tell him of their adventures.
